    Best day I've had with the Deus....hands down! :detecting:

    Gerald (Tabman) and I got started at an old house this morning - the weather was just about perfect and old coins of all types just kept rolling in today! First signal I dug was a beautiful 1925 S Wheat - it has that lovely dark green patina on both sides, and surprisingly enough most of the...

    Tuesday night hunt...

    Went back to the fairgrounds last Tues night and hunted with Zippy and a new member of our local detecting club. I studied some maps of the fairgrounds to try and get a good idea of where more coins would have been dropped versus other areas, all in all the three of us put in at least 5 hours of...

    Buttons and a Buffalo...

    Dad and I got out today to an old farm for a few hours but he had to leave early today. We hunted a site where a house once stood, possibly a sharecropper's shack built 100-150 years ago. Not sure exactly when this house was built, but was gone between 1963 and 1969 according to aerial maps...

    Gold, silver, and carbon!

    Dad and I were finally able to take my nephew out for his first detecting trip today. We have been trying to get toegether and do this since Christmas but between bad weather and time off only today was it a possibility. He is on spring break this week and the weather couldn't be nicer. I had...

    Nickels and pennies...

    Got out with Dad today to the fairgrounds before the rain got the best of us. Started off with a couple of zincolns, and a few minutes later hit a nice 83 which was the first Wheat of the day. Not three feet away, another Wheat surfaced, and ten feet further a 1942 P war nickel showed itself...

    Yesterday's hunt in the Crazy Cold...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?edit=vd&v=iTuky6y597M I know there are places in the US right now that are MUCH colder, but for around here it's pretty darn frigid...but at least the ground was soft and digging was fairly easy. I could have picked a rental house or two, or could have visited...

    Coldest all-day hunt EVER! :tongue:

    I know there are places in the US right now that are MUCH colder, but for around here it's pretty darn frigid...but at least the ground was soft and digging was fairly easy. I could have picked a rental house or two, or could have visited other old parks in the city, but what sold me on MLK Park...

    Pro-Pointer Envy...

    OK Garrett - it's time to unleash the orange PP AT and stop with the marketing hype. Much of the US is buried under snow and ice right now so it's a good time to "make them available to Joe Public". I, for one, am tired of all the hoopla and sales tactics... Really appreciate the excellent...

    Back to the fairgrounds...still giving up goodies!

    It was a good night to get out and hunt - the only place I know in town that will reliably give up at least one old coin per hunt has been kept on the back burner for a long time, but tonight I paid those fairgrounds a visit. The city has repaired the lights behind one of the buildings that...

    Dad got an AT Pro today!

    It was about a month early, but an opportunity presented itself in the Classified section and I jumped on it. Since many of us are snowed in, and looks like west TN will be getting some frozen precip in the next couple of days; it couldn't have come at a better time! Led him to my trunk and...

    Yesterday's hunt...

    I posted this in the Deus forum but wanted to post it here as well since this time of year it's hard to get out there... Filmed an "OK quality" video, it's not my best but it gets the job done LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe698H0siGY&edit=vd

    A Cure for the Monday Blues...silver streak goes on!

    Made it out yesterday on a cold, windy, and cloudy day to an older city park built in 1901. I had good intentions on hitting a few rentals, did some research on the newest-listed rentals and had a couple that dated back to the 1910s and 1920s, but wasn't able to secure permission on ANYTHING...

    Clad was nowhere to be found...

    Had some unusually warm February weather today so I took advantage of this and headed to a homesite not quite a mile from home earlier tonight. I've pulled a couple silvers from there on the last two hunts and a few Wheats as well, along with three rabies and dog tax tokens. This place has good...

    Starting February on a good note!

    Got out yesterday in between rain showers and managed to pull a few goodies from yet another rental. The ground was waterlogged, and any holes dug quickly began to fill with water. My first signal right after checking GB was a surface "95" hit that sounded "too good to be true". I took a picture...

    Ended January on a strong note!

    Found another rental near the old neighborhood last week and called to get permission today. It was a lovely night for a hunt - overcast, temps in the upper 40s, and a slight breeze was blowing. This house had a 400-watt light in the backyard that made it very nice to see by, and I didn't even...

    Finally got a chance to hunt!

    It seemed like a lifetime between hunts recently, between less than ideal weather and the sloughing off of a few items I don't plan on moving with - I finally managed to get out to a new-to-me rental property only 5 minutes from home that was built in the late 1950s. Pickins are pretty slim as...

    More house hunts...

    Got out to four different rentals yesterday with Gerald. Both of us hit many coins but the only silver between us was a single Merc bagged at the first house about an hour into the hunt. We both scored multiple Wheats, telling us we were in the right neighborhood, but I guess it just wasn't in...

    Three different houses today...third time's a charm!

    Made it out for most of the day since the temps were in the 40s here - it was a gloomy, misty sort of day and all three locations I hunted were mucky (so much for cleaning the detector!) Started out at a recently vacated house whose original owner passed last summer, but this person must have...

    Field stripping the upper shaft

    After a few rainy and muddy hunts, it was time to disassemble everything and begin a sort of cleaning process. Didn't want mud to get inside the camlocks and was surprised to see very little inside of the shaft after getting everything broken down for cleaning. The build quality if this upper...

    Short hunt turns up first silver for 2015!

    Made it out tonight before much colder air hits the region and makes detecting life miserable for us for a few days! Found another rental house not far from Monday's hunt - this house was built in 1942. As I got started detecting, a neighbor came over, curious as to what I was looking for. We...
